Odds & Ends

I have rented 'son' for various projects and jobs around the house and at work from packing, moving, garage clean-up, yard work, furniture moving, demolition. I have always felt the 'sons' were ready willing and able to complete the work quickly and efficiently.

lawn mowing, weeding

Rent-A-Son is very professional with great staff and customer service. The work done was excellent and thorough. Everything went smoothly right from the moment we called. The only disappointment is that we had thought it was a 'flat rate', but tax is extra. This wasn't clear either by phone, nor on the site.

We booked for 2 hours (which is a different per-hour rate from the 3 hour rate, which I knew in advance) and ended up needing 3.75 hrs. So we could've saved nearly $30 - and tax is extra, which I didn't realize. However, it was an excellent job and pleasant experience - thank you Hussein and Max!

I would suggest to anyone who tries out Rent-a-Son to perhaps allow for extra time and go for the cheaper overall rate, whenever possible, to avoid disappointment.

internal move

I was able to arrange a move within 24 hrs, the guys were courteous, and respectful. The move was finished in less time than expected, and all furniture arrived at the new unit in perfect condition. And my freshly painted walls were unmarked! Elizabeth F, Scarborough

Moving furniture

We used Rent a Son for a recent internal moving of furniture. The fellows were very efficient and cautious as we have many antiques that required special handling. Definitely will use again.

Move

Had two guys from Rent-a-son (Brent and Max) help me move for 3 hours. These guys were great! Very hard-working and conscientious. Highly recommend to do-it-yourself movers who needs an extra pair of hands.

Taking up a carpet & yardwork

It was a hot summer day when Grant came to work at the house. He worked for 4 hours, got all the work done, and as usual was courteous and very hard-working.

Unload two storage containers

In Hayden I got what I had hoped for. A strong and courteous worker who was both on time and pleasant. While he never made it an issue, I inquired what he earned an hour, and while $12 is not insignificant, it is, in my opinion, a sum below what he shld be earning given you charged me three times that much.

The only other I would add is staff handling telephone inquiries shld inform clients that it is likely to take less time to unload than it took to load... to some that's obvious... to overworked and harried clients like me it wasn't, and as a result I paid for two hours when I barely needed one.

Just an FYI

gardening and weeding

I'm a senior citizen. This hot weather makes gardening impossible for me. But my garden looks great, thanks to your workers.

However you're refusing to accept my review because it's too short really irritates me. Now is it long enough?????????????

loading a moving truck

The "sons" assigned to assist with loading my moving truck were punctual, professional, respectful, good-humored, and communicative. They were energetic and ready to work. The truck I ordered was too big and they arranged things extremely well so that not a thing shifted along the way. I had an excellent experience with rent-a-son.
